Motorcycle brand DEUS offered men’s tees, while TheAcademy Brand gifted guys shirts and shorts, iconic denim label Levi’s customised classic trucker jackets on-site while All About Eve decked girls out in this summer’s hottest trend, the “Twosie.”

The venue was transformed into an endless summer, casual street festival vibe – from party tunes spun by campaign stars The Faders DJs to food stations dotted around the venue offering street-inspired fare. Cooked “live” at the station by chefs, guests feasted upon American style hot dogs, BBQ sliders with gourmet trimmings, an Asian Vegetarian “Salad” bar, and pizza in 4 flavours including bocconcini with basil, a classic cheddar, salami and tomato combination, fig with prosciutto and gorgonzola, as well as olive and feta with fresh rocket.
